If he hears anything about the Juabens having bought powder and lead in Amanokrum/Akwapim he will make this known.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 13.08.1877 Proper date: 13.08.1877 Description An account of the resource The first three pages report the development of the Juaben affair. The Governor had said in his letter that in the event of trouble he could not extend protection to the Abetifi missionaries. Dieterle repeats that so far as he knows no trouble is in sight, but asks the Akwapim, Akim and Kwahu missionaries to let him know as soon as anything occurs to suggest that trouble is on the way. Dieterle had written to the Abetifi missionaries that they were not to allow themselves to be captured in any event, and that they would not be chased once they were in the protectorate. The king of Juaben is in prison at the moment because instead of settling near Koforidua as the Government wanted him to, he sent 60 ounces gold to King Taki of Accra in order to secure arms through Little Popo. On 7th August District Commissioner Reinecker came to Aburi in pursuit of the Queen Mother of Juaben escorted by an officer and 40 men. He stayed for several hours at the Mission Station in Aburi, asking Dieterle to act as an interpreter if he caught up with the lady in Mampong. It turned out, however, that she had gone on to Akropong. Message was sent to Akropong then that the Akroponghene was answerable for making sure that the Queen Mother went no further. The next day the Akroponghene brought her (Afrakuma) to the Mission House in Akropong, and invitied her up onto the veranda, whereupon her party were surrounded by soldiers. Reinecker asked the Akroponghene whether he knew that the Juabens were preparing to go to war against the Asantes, and that they had got themselves powder and lead, to which the Akroponghene replied that he did know. On Aug 9th the party returned to the Aburi Government quarters, and Dieterle saw the Queen Mother ('she is of middle age, and a looks very clever - as the District Commissioner said "She is a cunning woman"). She had been allowed her own serving women,and carriers, but the District Commissioner brought the King of Akropong and his men as far as Aburi since he feared an attempt by the Juaben people to rescue her. Dieterle adds that the imprisoned ‘King’ Asafogei is only the regent - when King Boateng died the heir was too young to be made king. Now he is imprisoned with his sister in Kumasi and this is the fundamental reason for the desire of the Juabens to fight with the Kumasis.

He quotes a reply to his letter to Abetifi from Werner dd 16 August. In Abetifi they were surprised to hear of troubles developing between Asante and Juaben. All is quiet there, and no-one grudges the Juabenhene his fate since he is if anything worse than the king of Kumasi. Captain Hay with 100 Hausas has come through Abetifi looking for the smuggled powder and preparing to be a position to hinder the Juabens if they move forward.

They brought back with them several horses, donkeys, and a number of cows, though unfortunately they forgot to bring a bull. Unfortunately the animals do not seem to like the air in their new homes. Asante reports that his cow is already dead, and Opoku and Kwabi report the same about several cows and donkeys. Abetifi received a horse and 2 donkeys, but sadly one of the donkeys is lost already. Perhaps they were overstrained on the journey back from Salaga.

In April the ‘Commandant’ from Accra travelled through Aburi on his trek into Akira to arrange land for the settlement of the Juabens. He seemed happy that all was well, but Dieterle’s observation is that large numbers of Juabens are carrying palm-oil for the Akwapims, hundreds pass the mission station in Aburi daily. He has spoken with many of them, and they have no intention of going to settle at Koforidua - he quotes a conversation with one man who said that the Asantes had killed 5 members of his family, and his ambition is revenge.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 12.10.1877 Proper date: 12.10.1877 Description An account of the resource Includes the point that though the Governor had summoned the Okyenhene and his supporters to Christiansborg on 1st November, he was hoping that the case would be settled peaceably between the parties so that this would not be necessary. The Akropong missionaries had sent Kwabi as their representative to mediate but Ata had refused to entertain him in this role. People fear that Asante has gone too far in opposition to Ata. Some missionaries think all would be solved if the Okyenhene heard that a white missionary was to be stationed in Kibi again, but Buck himself does not think so — he once say the Okyenhene when he came in (the Christiansborg mission compound presumably) to buy something, and reckons he is not a very intelligent chief.

He asks Dieterle to ensure that any defence of Asante's conduct before the Governor should be made through him (Buck), and adds that since the Okyenhene came out of the affair without punishment such a defence would only help with the Governor - it would not better the position in Kibi.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 15.04.1877 Proper date: 15.04.1877 Description An account of the resource They are looking forward to baptising 21 people when the chapel is consecrated on Ascension Day. 8 of them are women, 4 the wives of the men already baptised. All have been forbidden from travelling so that they may be regularly instructed and kept under the eye of the missionaries. They also hope to celebrate the first Christian marriage. The chapel has unfortunately no bell, but they are looking forward to establishing a proper liturgy of morning and evening prayers in it. So far this year the number of members of the Christian community has grown by 4 men and 4 children. 2 of the children are newly born to Joseph Su, and Johannes Asamoah. Mohr has collected the conversion histories of the men: Mose Nkroma (baptised with a small son, Immanuel). He had once stayed with a Christian family in Aburi and heard something about the contents of the Christian religion. He had also noticed how Christians behaved on his journeys for trading. He had also been much troubled by the fetish priests, when he or one of his family was ill then they had to sacrifice a sheep or some money to the fetish. With the coming of the mission he had decided to rid himself of these troubles: his wife will be baptised too 'on Ascension Day. David Asare, baptised with a son Theodor, and has a brother in the Middle school in Akropong. He had been much involved with fetish practices but claimed to have recognised that those would ruin him and therefore when the mission arrived sought work from them, became a sawyer and has worked on the station ever since. Immanuel Frey had by his own account lived a highly immoral life – his business was in the trade in spirits. He became aware of the fact that this was leading to his ruin, and decided therefore to break with his old life. He still has a ready tongue, but the missionaries have heard no evil of him. Petro saw, aged about 18 is a model of seriousness. Before his baptism he was very self-abasing. He had apparently been on intimate terms with a girl until Mader and himself came to Begoro 2 years before, and had then been very frightened by Mohr’s street preaching about the Day of Judgment. He went straight away to Kibi to join the school and so, as he thought, avoid the wrath of God. In Kibi he was one of the least gifted pupils, and has been back in Begoro working on the building for some time. Mohr is particularly pleased to bring such a penitent individual forward to baptism, his candour will let God succeed with him.
